The funeral of Celtic legend Charlie Callagher has taken place, with a special memorial procession taking place outside of Celtic Park.
It was announced in a statement by Celtic 10 days ago that the Lisbon Lions legend has passed away at the age of 80.
Glasgow-born Charlie was a key player in the club's triumph in winning the European Cup in Lisbon in 1967.
He made 171 appearances for Celtic and won three league titles, a Scottish Cup and a League Cup.
His funeral took place today, with a special procession taking place at Celtic Park before the ceremony.
Both players and fans were given the chance to say farewell to Charlie ahead of him being laid to rest.
Current players included Celtic captain Calum McGregor, David Turnbull and Greg Taylor paid respects to Charlie on behalf of the club.
The procession then moved onto Bishopbriggs, where the funeral of Charlie took place at St Dominic's RD Church earlier this morning.
Those in attendance at the ceremony in the church include ex-Celtic players and manager, Neil Lennon, and new Sporting Director, Dominic MacKay.
Celtic released a statement on Twitter this morning which said: "Once again, we would like to send our most sincere condolences to the family of Celtic FC great Charlie Gallagher. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time."
